How to Remove the Horns.

When the calf is about six weeks
old, or when the horn button projects
about half an inch, l have a man to
catch the calf, holding the under Jaw
with one hand and with the other
hand seises the ear opposite to the
horn to be operated on, and the calf's
neck under his arm. Any strong
man can in this way hold any young
calf as in avise. For further efiicien.
cy, however, boy can hold the cslrs
hindquarters to keep him from sway.
ing to and fro. Then with q sharp
knife l cut close around the horn
through the skin, run the point of the
knife down under the horn and bring
it out of its socket as completely rs an
acorn can be taken out Of its shell.
The formation of the horn and its
socket is very much like an acorn and
its shell, only the socket of the horn
is very shallow. 1t is . mistaken idea
that the horn of a young animal is at
tached to the skull, as any one can see
by examining a calf's head after
slaughter. And while on this subject
l would suggest to farmers who want
to practice dishorning young calves
that they get together aad operate on
veal or other dead calf and thereby
learn in five minutes how to do the
work easily and successfully.

Wheat Straw for Feeding

As the winter draws toward it's close,
how about your supply of clover hay ?
Is it giving out? Well, a word in
time. Good wheat straw, as we have
before stated, is not without value az
a feeding material. 1t contains, of
course, less amount of the valuable
properties, such as starch, sugar, the
fat producers, than clover-ano more
of indigestlble, woody fibre, and alone
it is not relished so we'll by cattle
But, if cut fine, moistened we'll with
warm water and enriched by an addi-
tion of wheat bran, corn and cotton
seed meals, it will be relished by the
animals, and the products IN milk,
butter, flesh or fat will be satisfactory.
The nutritive value of the straw, by
the admixture of the richer materials
is economically utilized. An old far
mer of Virginia, in whose skill ana
Judgment we have confidence, writing
to US of his experience in this matter,
says that a few winters ago when his
hay supply gave out he fell back on
his straw-feeding it as above indicst-
ed, and the yield in butter was good,
and the quality sufficiently excellent
to command fifty cents a pound in
Washington city. This is what we
call skillful feeding in contradistinc-
tion to the haphazard way. 1t is in
full conformity with the certain laws
of chemistry. 1t is one of the impor-
tant ways of turning everything on q
farm to account-and realizing its ut.
most value in solving the problem of
success. Don't undervalue the straw,
it is good reserve corps.-Americam

Sowing Grass and Clover Seeds.
1t is the common practice to SOW
grass and clover seeds with grain, but
this is hardly the best plan. Either
the grass or the grain must be crowd
ed. II the grain is materially stinted,
the loss will more than equal the gair
resulting from having the land occu
pied by two crops at once. If tht
grain is full crop, the grass and clio
yer will be so weakly y that if the wea-
ther is dry just after the cutting off of
the grain exposes the grass, the grass
will die to great extent. And though
the weather. just after the grain is
cut, be favorable to the grass and clo-
yer, they will be 80 retarded by the
grain that they will make little pasture
or hay that year, and either pasturing
or moving will be hazardous. Very
often two crops may economically &C.
cupy the land in one season, or even
at the same time; but these crops do
not include grain and grass or clover
Very rarely is it really economy OF
land to SOW grass and clover with
grain. Nor is it economy of time.
For when sown with grain, the grass
and clover make very lite growth the
first year, as already noted, and utiliz-
ing that little subjects the grass to the
risk of extinction. If the grass and
clover have the land to themselves,
they will make two and possibly three
good mowings the first year, on strong
land; and one good moving and a
heavy aftermath at least, on moderate.
ly productive land.
Some grasses may be sown in the
fall or through the winter; all may be
sown in the early spring, and will be
as far along by May as if sown in the
fall. Glover should be sown in the
spring always. 1t is important to SOW
in the early spring; and the danger
from freezing is much less than is
generally supposed. If the groand is
very solid, it must first be loosened,
and of course this work must be de.
ferred until the ground is in condition
to work nicely. But this will be nec-
essary only when the ground is very
hard. Passing over the land twice
with sharp harrow will usually suf.
flee. The seeds are to be allowed to
sink into the soil themselves; or. when
this is doubtful on account of chsrac.
ter or condition Of the ground, they
may be pressed into the soil by pass.
